- "Who is Michael Kramer? Do you mean Michael Richards who played Kramer?
Regardless, Mr. Costanza invented Festivus, not Kramer."

Yada Yada Yada...
Michael Richards, of course. (I must have overdone the eggnog myself)
Here"s some amusing background...
"Festivus is an annual holiday that was adapted from ancient Roman practices by Reader"s Digest writer and editor Daniel O"Keefe. It was introduced into popular culture by O"Keefe''s son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld, on December 18, 1997, in the episode "The Strike." (Season 9, Episode 10). The holiday is celebrated each year on December 23, but many people celebrate it at other times, often to avoid the Christmas rush. The holiday includes novel practices such as the "Airing of Grievances," in which each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year. Also, after the Festivus meal, the "Feats of Strength" are performed, involving wrestling the head of the household to the floor, the holiday only ending if the head of the household is actually pinned.
Some people, influenced or inspired by Seinfeld, now celebrate the holiday, in varying degrees of seriousness; some carefully following rules from the TV show or books, others humorously inventing their own versions."

You mean Jesus didn"t wear a hat like that ? I thought He did.
Jesus DID wear Holy Mormon Underwear, though. I was briefed on that by a reliable anonymous source at Mitt Romney campaign headquarters. - Reply to this comment

We are a long way from the God of the Bible with this post. We"re actually paying a visit to Aristotle"s Unmoved Mover.
It is difficult for anyone who has been to the pediatric ward of a cancer hospital, as I have when I visited with the family of a very young girl dying of ovarian cancer, to feel any great enthusiasm for this cold blooded "Big Picture" approach.
It isn"t website design we"re talking about here. It"s real human beings who suffer and die for no good reason. - Reply to this comment

All religions are businesses. All dogmas dog other dogmas as being fake.
The Christians want the whole world to be only Christian.
The Muslims want the whole world to be only Muslim.
The Jews want the whole world to be only Jewish.
Etc., etc., etc.
The only way we will ever have peace is for the whole world to be just one religion, which will never happen, or for there to be no religion at all, which will never happen, either.
Expecting peace in conjunction with religion is like looking for gold in a silver mine..... - Reply to this comment

- If the "religious leaders" would do more than talking about achieving "peace" in the world I would beleive in them. Practically all the conflicts in the world today are based on "religious beleifs". The "leaders" are not taking the principles of all these religions that supposedly are for PEACE and EQUALITY, DEMANDING that their followers do not participate in wars or conflicts and rather live the message of JESUS, ALAH, BUDDA, etc. etc. of peace and tolerance. All killings in these wars are done in the name of GOD. Peace will come when "wars" are not even the "last resort" to gain power but the POWER OF PEACE will not make it necessary to go to "war" to prevail in solving human conflicts.

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe''s the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny''s and Sears
You won''t hear the word Christmas; it won''t touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace.
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate "Winter Break"
under your "Dream Tree"
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout
MERRY CHRISTMAS,
not Happy Holiday !

Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
Why the Politically Correct Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people''s feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a " Holiday ".
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
